Career Opportunity Web Pages --------------------- Women constitute 49 percent if the work force, but hold only 30 percent of the jobs in science and less than 10 percent of those in
engineering. A major problem is the lack of role models for women who may be considering or studying a technical field. A new
program, Mentor Net, offers female students a chance to link with mentors who can advise them about opportunities in their fields,
share their personal experiences, and encourage women to take full advantage of professional networks and resources in the field.
